I am a morning person and I love my morning coffee. Sometimes it’s what gets me out of bed. I love the aroma when it is brewing and the taste (after I doctor it up a bit). We keep it cool in our house at night, so it also offers a lovely warm up from the inside out, as I sit and enjoy my (temporarily) quiet house, ponder my day, say my prayers and read my daily devotional. I especially enjoy holding the warm cup in both hands because it eases a little aching they sometimes have in the morning. I’m always a little sad when the coffee is gone. The empty cup isn’t warm anymore and it’s time to rise and shine and really start my day, leaving behind my soft blanket and comfy chair. What kind of day will it be? Smooth sailing or choppy waters? A walk in the park or an uphill hike in the desert? I’m not worried. I’m not alone. Whatever the day brings, God is with me and for me. My heart is full of his promises. A cold, empty coffee cup has nothing to offer. Fill your cup with God’s promises and he will warm your heart. Wrap your day around Him and he will bless you and keep you at peace. Psalm 23:1-6: “A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Let God top off your cup! Smile and be joyful!
